This was one of the best books I have read in a long time. I expected a lot since it is a book by Lewis Carroll and my expectations were met and more. Definitely a must have and a must read, Carroll fan or not.

5.0 out of 5 stars A cinematic imagination, wholesome and satirical: make a film!
Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2014
"Chaos" is the word that author Lewis Carroll resorts to in his apologetic confession of a preface to "Sylvie and Bruno." He states that this book has been more or less thrown together. In my opinion, there is not only intelligence, but genius, at work here. The emphasis is on pushing the envelope and testing what is possible, rather than refining and reducing the book and forcing it into some conventional mold. The pieces and chunks that have been strung together show that the author is capable of refinement and order. This idea of a book as a safe arena in which to wreak havoc, is bound to offend some readers, and so it has done from its publication to the present day.

"The Mad Gardener's Song," should you encounter it in some anthology of Lewis Carroll's poetry, comes from here; and the gardener himself is an important device to move the plot along and to keep various characters connected to each other between separations. You have to read both sections of "Sylvie and Bruno" in order to see how the plot is fulfilled; the first section alone will not fill you in.

Some frustrated readers have protested the blindingly swift transitions in which the narrator begins in one world -- for example, the ordinary human world that is his home -- then finds himself in the Imperial Court of Outland (Carroll satire reigns supreme there) or near the road to the realm of the Elven-King, a force for right and good who could have stepped from a George MacDonald fairy tale (MacDonald and the author known as "Carroll" were colleagues and friends). I look at those same transitions from setting to setting, and I see cinematic technique before cinema was even invented.

I haven't even begun to tell you that when Carroll is comic, in this book, he is hilarious, his satire as juicy and tart as ever. The ending, however, is neither satirical nor comical. That alone puts off some of the Alice In Wonderland fanciers. But as an admirer of George MacDonald myself, I rejoice in the conclusion: "It is Love." Not for everybody -- but those of us who like it, would LOVE to see it on film.

Such a Victorian genre. Difficult to follow Carroll's line of thought at times.
